G4s in thrift stores!
« on: January 21, 2012, 09:42:42 AM »
Have second hand G4s (other than McDonald's toys) begun turning up anywhere else? This week I found a talking Princess Celestia in perfect condition in a nearby Value Village. Not yet sure if this is the beginning of a trend or just one person who was already tired of it, but I'm certainly not complaining. Anyone else have any luck yet? Thrift store shoppers might want to keep their eyes open for them.

Not below $10, but I got mine for $10.99 with free shipping from Amazon a few weeks ago!

So far I've found a Twilight Sparkle, a molded hair AJ, and a raised leg Rarity from thrift stores. :3

I bought a talking Celestia from Savers, and I also saw the Pinkie Pie bubble blower. Otherwise, I mostly see G3s.

I've seen happy meal toys mostly, But I got a Rarity at Value Village once, along with her little carriage. I also saw a Pinkie Pie bubble blower there once, but didn't get it, since it seemed a little on the broken side of things...

I really wish they would show up, but they haven't, as far as I know. @__@; (I haven't been in a bit, but we'd go to like 4~8 different thrift stores weekly if not more. eek).
With my luck, they'd be in a bag of junk toys, marked too high.

Yeah, I got Rarity and Shine Bright Rainbow Dash about a month ago in a thrift store.

I've only seen the McDonalds G4 ponys at the goodwills near me.

But i kinda hope i dont find G4s because then i will want to collect them lol

Although i would love to find the Fashion Style ponies for a price cheaper than new since i am collecting those lol

I found Shine Bright Luna for $0.90 at the thrift shop two weeks ago. I also got a bunch of McDonalds G4's.

Seems frightening to me that kids would go through their new toys that fast.

However, at least they were donated so someone else could enjoy them.

I know, I felt the same way! The one I found even still has her curls! Like you said, though, at least they're ending up somewhere where someone else can enjoy them.
